i just ordered jet-hot longtubes, and a cai for my 94' z, ive already got a cat-back flowmaster, will i see any difference in power w/ just this, or is it too small to notice on a mostly stock car?

Also, about how much rwhp will i be making w/ just this?

Headers and a CAI are some of the biggest butt-o-meter mods. At least they were on my car. My guess would be about 280hp if everything is running right.

What do you mean by butt-o-meter?

You won't see much from a CAI but you should see around anywhere from 10-25 rwhp from headers. I'll also say around 280 rwhp also.

I felt a pretty big improvement when I put my CAI in. The car did have a cam and full exhaust at the time so Im sure anything would have flowed better than the stock airbox. As for the butt-o-meter mods, its how hard the new mods throw your butt back in the seat. My butt-o-meter tells me that I felt a lot from those 2 mods

Thanks, Ive learned if stuff on my car is going to break whether I worry about it or not so I just stopped worrying about it and now Im having fun with it. Ill worry about it when it breaks and believe me, it will Im very curious where 3.73's would put me but right now I have a couple other things that I need to take care of before I put more money into the car. Thanks again for the kind words.
